Full list as Taylor Swift announces new album “Midnights” at MTV VMAs

Taylor Swift announced at the 2022 MTV VMAs Sunday that she has a new album coming out in October.

“I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand-new album comes out October 21,” the 32-year-old singer said while accepting the award for Video of the Year.

She then teased, “I will tell you more at midnight,” before later announcing the fitting title of her forthcoming project: “Midnights.”

The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards—and the ongoing list of the night’s biggest winners—has officially arrived. The star-studded event, held this year at New Jersey’s Prudential Center August 28, saw a slew of historic nominations for some of music’s most influential artistes.

Doja Cat, Jack Harlow and Harry Styles led the way in earning the most nominations for the night, with the trio landing eight apiece. (All three artistes recently nabbed one more nomination in the Song of the Summer category). Following close behind them would be none other than Lil Nas X and Kendrick Lamar, who also tied with seven nods each. But that’s not all: Billie Eilish, Drake, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd each scored an impressive five nominations.

As far as first time nominees go, this year’s list included Baby Keem, GAYLE, Kacey Musgraves, Måneskin, Anitta, Becky G, Dove Cameron, Karol G, ITZY, JID, Muni Long, Tems, Wet Leg and more.
